Pie Auction
Here’s your chance to share your culinary talents with others. Bring your home-baked sweets and let the bidding begin. Pies, cakes, cookies, cupcakes or whatever you wish to bake are always a hit with the crowd. Share your purchase with others at the Pie Auction or take it home to enjoy later. All are welcome (bring your dessert, or just come and join the fun!). Bounce Houses will be there for the kids and childcare is available for infants through Pre-K. The Meat Ministry will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs beginning at 5:00 p.m. so you’ll be ready for dessert.
All proceeds benefit GAMMA (Grace Avenue Missions, Ministry and Assistance).
